Who
Friends of Humanity holds
firm conviction in the cause of justice and equity. We are experts,
specialists and researchers of different nationalities. We join hands with
other human rights foundation from other countries and concert efforts to
further our common aspirations and goals. It gives us pride to get the
support of volunteers to our programs.
What
Friends of Humanity is an
international organization concerned with human rights and based in Vienna,
the capital of Austria. Our researchers conduct fact-finding investigations
into human rights abuses, particularly in relation to prisoners and
detainees, in some regions in the world. For example we collect accounts
from prisoners and their families and synthesize evidences for abusive
practices against prisoners and detainees during imprisonment. The
Organization then publishes the findings of these investigations in special
releases that serve to generate extensive media coverage and pressure
abusive authorities to respond to our demands to end or reduce such abuses.
Friends of Humanity addresses the government officials and foundations to
urge them to change their policies and practices.
We monitor abuses such as
prompt death penalty, torture, political detention and discrimination,
unjust trials, free expression abuses, right to affiliation to societies and
unions, religious freedom in addition to issues relating to children's
rights, women's rights and rights of the handicapped and the aged. We follow
on issues in environment, just trade and minority rights.
We track developments in
some regions in the world especially Europe, the Middle East and North
Africa.
